Thanks, Howard, very interesting to see that.


By the way,
We're having trouble getting our summer temps. above 18 degrees......

worse than us! though our lows might be worse--we haven't had frost here, but there have been lows of 3-5 several times in july! a few days below 15, too...
severe thunderstorm watch on now, and the wind is up!

Thanks for sharing your pictures with us, Howard - had never heard of the curly fern before, love those "Hidden Treasures". Some familiar ones of course - I'll also have to get used to having a Kalmia growing locally (sounds exotic).

I think the climate in Newfoundland would suit me well as I also consider over 22C sweltering hot...

I should have said that there were also Kalmia procumbens, Silene acaulis and Hudsonia ericoides growing at Hare's Ears.  It's the only place we've found where all four of these alpines grow together.  No pictures of the others, they weren't worth it.
